Frédéric Bastiat The Law and That which is seen and that which is not seen

These videos provide information and insights from the French economist and political philosopher Frédéric Bastiat who passed in 1850. I only recently heard about him and it appears that what he saw in his day is repeating itself in modern times especially in the way the law is used in a corrupt manner. It's funny and eerie how close he was to exposing the psychopathy going on in his day through seeing how the "legislators" hid behind laws that they did not follow leading to legalised plunder throughout society in Bastiat words. The Law and That which is seen/not seen are as relevant today as they were in the 1800's because what Frédéric Bastiat saw was the ponerology, hypocrisy and the shortsightedness of the PTB which still manifest today.
